Scoparia conspicualis and Acronycta alni at Edlington Wood. — 

 This morning I received a few specimens of *S. conspicualis from Mr. W. 

 Prest, who had taken them near York. I did not previously know the 

 species, but on opening the box, saw directly that it was perfectly 

 familiar to me ; and on looking over my store boxes I at once picked out 

 several good specimens, and some inferior ones. I took them certainly 

 two, probably three years ago, in Edlington Wood, near Doncaster, 

 where I am pretty sure I have seen the species each season since, but 

 have always passed it over as a form of ambigualis I am also inclined 

 to think I saw it at Grassington on the Union's excursion there, the last 

 Bank Holiday, but did not box a specimen. If any member brought 

 away from there any doubtful Scoparia, I should much like to see it. 

 On the 5th of the present month I found a larva of A. alni, on the upper 

 side of an oak leaf in Edlington Wood. It has fed well, and is now 

 evidently full grown, and about ready for spinning up. — Geo. T.
